weight of sr20DET

bboyt3nsk · 07-08-2004, 06:44 PM

Im getting tanabe springs and im doin an sr20 swap....now will the handling and the height of the car be messed up because the sr20 (redtop) weighs less?

no nothing bad will happen except more power

the weight difference between the KA and SR is only a mater of pounds. So it shouldnt effect anything more then the difference between being out of windshield wipper fluid and having it full.

i think the sr20 is a few pounds heavier not sure but it all makes it up in power its a great engine can handle good power and its reliable.

if you look at SCC, they'll say the SR is 3lbs lighter than the KA. I haven't tossed the motors on a scale or anything, but I think they're about the same weight, the SR being a little lighter, especially if you take off the AC compressor.
